m.dailyhunt.inHere’s the latest on Bhoot Bangla’s budget and box office as of May 2026.
-
Budget: Reports consistently quote a budget around ₹120 crore, including production, marketing, and prints. Some outlets note a figure near ₹120–₹130 crore depending on reported inclusions. These figures are commonplace in Indian entertainment coverage for the film.[2][3][5]
-
Domestic box office (India): Initial reports suggested a strong opening, with early weekend momentum carrying the film into a substantial domestic tally. By late April, several trackers claimed the film crossed the ₹100 crore mark in India, approaching or surpassing the ₹120–₹130 crore figure discussed by producers and distributors.[6][2]
-
Global/Worldwide: Following the India performance, media outlets and fan trackers reported continued global box office activity, with ongoing coverage of cumulative worldwide totals in the ₹120–₹130 crore range for India and higher when including overseas markets.[3][6]
-
Profitability signals: Several analyses indicated that, given the reported budget and the box office trajectory, the film’s breakeven point was being reached or surpassed by the end of the first two weeks, with a portion of profit likely leveraging ancillary rights (OTT, satellite, music) as discussed in some reports. Note that exact profit shares for cast and crew vary by deal and are not uniformly disclosed.[5][8][3]
Illustration: If you’re evaluating whether the film recovered its budget, a quick approximation is: domestic box office around ₹100–₹120 crore by mid-to-late April, with total reported budget about ₹120 crore, implying a favorable near-breakeven or profitable position once non-theatrical rights and tax considerations are accounted for. This aligns with several live-update reports during that period.[3][6]
